Donut balls

Donut balls

Easy, from-scratch, donut balls!  These homemade donuts can be mixed up and fried in minutes! Every time, I make these donuts, I am super mom. I literally make this donut balls, once a week. So cute and pop-able, they’re the donut you can eat in one bite!

Unlike the Puff Puff, this recipe of donut balls does not need a resting time. I use baking soda and no Yeats. The recipe of donut balls is very simple:  mix donut ball batter in clear mixing bowl with wooden spoon and fry in hot oil until golden. What I like most about this donut is that they turn themselves.

This donut ball can be glazed or served with the classic sugared, chocolate ganache dipped, and filled with an orange scented raspberry sauce.

  • 2 cup of All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Cooking oil

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix.

Add milk, eggs, vanilla extract, nutmeg and mix and stir until mixture forms a thick batter.

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour (Optional)

Pour oil into heavy bottomed pan (dutch ovens or deep cast iron pans are fabulous for frying), until oil is about 2 inches deep. Heat over medium heat until oil comes up to 350 F degrees. Adjust heat level as needed to maintain the 350 degree temperature.

Once oil has reached 350 F degrees, use a cookie scoop to scoop up batter and drop them into the hot oil. Be careful when dropping the batter, do it from just above the oil so you minimize splashing!

Fry doughnuts in hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Remove from oil to drain on paper plates.

Serve with milk, melted chocolate or vanilla sugar …

Africa tennis Recipe

Africa tennis Recipe

3 cups all purpose flour for doughnuts, plus 2 tablespoons for dusting

2 tablespoons butter

1 packet (2¼ teaspoons) of dry yeast

½ cup white sugar

1 cup milk

1 egg

½ teaspoon salt

oil for frying

½ teaspoon nutmeg powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fully melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and add milk, sugar, and salt. Mix well until everything is well dissolved. Crack an egg into the saucepan and mix well. Add the yeast and stir. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

Transfer to a large bowl. Add 3 cups flour and mix well with a wooden spoon. Add the nutmeg and vanilla extract. When everything is well mixed, use your hand to knead the dough for a few minutes, and shape it into a big lump. Cover with plastic wrap.

Let the dough rise until it doubles in size, usually about 1 hour to 1½ hours.

Deflate the gas with your hand and knead the dough for a few minutes until it’s soft and smooth. Cover with plastic wrap again and let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour until it doubles in size again.

Uncover the dough and knead it for a few minutes. Put 2 tablespoons of flour on the corner of your cutting board to use for dusting. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces and roll

Heat up oil in a deep skillet over medium high heat, until the temperature reaches 350° F. Lower the heat to medium heat, then gently set each doughnut into the hot oil by hand. 

Cook for about 5 minutes, occasionally gently flipping them over with tongs, until they get crunchy outside and are evenly golden brown.

Place the doughnuts on paper-towel-lined-plates to drain.
